What Are Resin Bonded Bridges?
Resin bonded bridges, are dental restorations designed to replace a missing tooth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the surrounding natural teeth using small “wings” bonded with a strong dental adhesive. The replacement tooth is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance. This option is less invasive than traditional bridges because it requires minimal alteration to the surrounding teeth, making it an ideal choice for restoring teeth in the front of the mouth.
Who Is a Candidate for Resin Bonded Bridges?
Resin bonded bridges are ideal for patients who have:
• A single missing tooth or a small number of missing teeth in the front of the mouth
• Healthy teeth adjacent to the gap for support
• Good overall oral health and strong gums
• A desire for a minimally invasive and affordable tooth replacement
During your consultation, Dr. Lopez or Dr. Sosa will assess your teeth and gums, discuss your goals, and determine if a resin bonded bridge is the right choice for you.
The Resin Bonded Bridge Process
- Consultation and Examination
We begin with a thorough dental exam and imaging to evaluate your teeth and gums, ensuring a resin bonded bridge will provide the support and aesthetics you need. - Tooth Preparation
Minimal preparation is done to the supporting teeth to help the adhesive bond securely. - Impressions and Custom Fabrication
We take an impression of your teeth to ensure your bridge is custom-crafted to match your bite, tooth shape, and color. - Bridge Placement
The bridge is carefully positioned and bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth with a strong dental adhesive. Minor adjustments are made to ensure comfort and a natural fit.
Results and Care
With proper care, resin bonded bridges can last many years. It is important that you brush and floss daily, schedule regular dental checkups, and avoid biting down on hard foods with the bridge to extend its lifespan. This type of bridge is less invasive, making it easy to repair or replace if needed.
